RE: More Accessible DAB/Internet Radio Systems
speaking of wifi radios, does anyone have any comments on experience with the CC wifi radio from the standpoint of accessibility? Ray T.

The App also allows access to most menu functions along with the browsing of radio and Internet stations. As for the sound? I don't have this specific model - I have the one below - The Ruark R2 MKII - it - but I can tell you that the sound is excellent, if all DAB+ radio sets sounded this good then I'd be a very happy man, the Ruark radio sets are some of the best I've heard - even the little Ruark R1 MKII I have sounds damn good -. The Ruark R2 MKIII is available from Stereophonic for $799 http://www.stereophonic.com.au -- ** Those who need help are those who are prepared to help themselves

does that radio also have a control app? Ray T.

It has both DLNA and Bluetooth streaming so you can stream to it from another device. Whilst this radio doesn’t have speech it does have a whole heap of stuff that makes the unit fairly useable, the radio has a keypad on the remote which allows the entry of text - similar to a telephone or mobile phone keypad - therefore you can - if you take your time - do searching for specific radio stations. The radio also boasts a large number of presets which are easily accessed via the included remote so - as you can see - the radio has a few things in its favour. On 24 Jul 2015, at 4:56 pm, Ray T.

Not to my knowledge no but you can register with a web site and programme and play favourites to it that way. On 24 Jul 2015, at 5:27 pm, Ray T.
